Blind Rivets are available in various combinations of aluminum, stainless steel and steel. Offered in standard dome, large flange, countersunk and closed end head styles, blind rivets feature a mandrel which is pulled through the body. This action expands the blind end of the rivet shank, creating a permanent hold. Required grip range is based on the thickness of the materials that are being joined together.

Blind Rivets are high strength one piece break-stem fastener that require access from one side only. They are available in various materials such as Aluminum alloy, Steel and Stainless Steel in a variety of lengths & diameters. Also they are available in various head forms - Dome Head, Countersunk and Large flange to suite applications where wide load spread or flush surface is required.
A general purpose rivet that can be used where the materials to be fastened does not require load bearings. Open-end blind rivets provide an economical means for fastening metal parts where easy disassembly is not required. The bodies of all our open-end blind rivets are fabricated by cold-heading, offering superior strength and excellent appearance.
Rivets can be used in numerous applications with low load bearing applications. Rivets are handy where access at the back of the work piece is restricted or not accessible.
The standard head style is dome which is suitable for most applications,
large flange rivets are good for riveting thin or softer materials such as plastic, timber etc to a rigid backing,such as fastening softer materials (wood or plastic, for example) to metal.
A countersunk rivet is used primarily on metal surfaces where a flush appearance is required.
First, measure the diameter of the rivet itself with a dial caliper. Then, just like measuring a bolt, measure the underside of the rivet head to the end of the rivet head. Make sure that you do not measure to the end of the mandrel, you only want the length of the HAT and washer. The grip range of the rivet will be 1/8" shorter than the measured length. EXAMPLE: If the length of the hat is 1/2" the rivet is actually a 3/8" grip (.375), also known as a 4-6 rivet. Please refer to the diagram and charts below for grip ranges, grades, etc. Grip range is not the same as length, the rivet must expand or swell out on the backside in order to hold the rivet together.
